Instrument is used to spin liquids to separate components?

Small cylinders of liquids are placed in a disk, with their length in the plane of the disk. When the disk is spun at high revolutions per minute, a high centripetal force, equivalent to several gravities is generated along the length of the tube, thus settling out any heavier portions of the contents. In practice, the tube is inclined to the spin axis, to aid the sediment to flow down the surface of the tube.
